Jess Auerbach

I grew up in Durban, South Africa, attended undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford where I studied Forced Migration, and most recently a PhD in anthropology from Stanford. My research concerns the transnational emergence of Angola's middle class in the South Atlantic, and is specifically attentive to post cold war ideology, aesthetics, race, social stratification and intellectual cultures. I am currently helping to establish the Social Science program at the African Leadership University.
